It's surprising that SOS has remained at the top of the eshop ranking despite the issues.

I would expect Rise's comgnet ratio to be somewhere between World and Smash. (in other words, I suspect World isn't going to end up being the greatest comparison).

So, World has more points than AC, but AC opened higher?

Rise will have more preorders than any other Switch game. It will be fine.

So, World has more points than AC, but AC opened higher?

different year and PS4 vs NSW.

Depends genre, platform and several factors

World had severe stock issues

This is true, Nintendo seems to be close to the 1:1k ratio now though as Chris pointed out a few days ago. I'll take a look at it...

World stock issues I don't think effected COMG ratio since many games don't have that 1:1k ratio. Like Comg customers tend to be more PlayStation skewed

Rise will have more preorders than any other Switch game. It will be fine.

True, it's just MH out of the top games is the one that people will pre order more than day 1 buyers. That's why something like AC went from 805 to 1800+ meaning more than half the people people who bought it didn't pre order

I think there is something to be said for the general excitement of a big game release. Especially on something like Switch that appeals to a wider demographic as your example shows. I think it will overperform at retail (not to the same extent of course) and show great legs due to this audience. One that does not preorder.

I love the look of the game but as graphics tech improves people have different expectations of the graphics too. Chibi looks weird when the hardware is capable enough to handle more realistic graphics. In Bravely it is by design though. The picture book art style works well and the characters fit the art style. It really is a artistic game at that but many gamers can't look past that or outright don't like it.
I think many people love the art and covers of Bravely Default. Back in the 3DS days there was an excuse for the graphics to not look like on the covers.
It is not the chibi designs by itself. Snack World for example has also chibi designs but nobody complaints because it is like that on the cover.
Imagine Pokemon having Monster Hunter stylised Pokemon on the covers. There would also be many sad complainers wishing the cover art to be ingame.

I really do hope the drop won't be that bad for Story of Seasons.

They really should have not rushed the game out.
That's what happens when you launch an unpolished product.
If they released the game in as bad shape as all the comments suggest, I hope it is a big drop. No one should be supporting games that release in terrible state.
A big openening and a hard drop with no legs would be a perfect and clear message to the publisher. Show interest and deny it. Hopefully it happens.
Just low sales can mean anything.

They already publicly apologized for the issues the game has, so they are aware lol.

This game is going to be kinda weird because it's still topping the Eshop charts and Marvelous probably isn't going to share digital numbers

MediaCreate 2 月 22 日~2 月 28 日一週銷售排行榜 《牧場物語》新作奪冠

巴哈姆特 GNN 與日本遊戲業界分析公司 MediaCreate 合作,每週定期刊載由 MediaCreate 調查與統計的日本、台灣與韓國地區家用遊樂器主機遊戲軟體的一週銷售排行榜,供玩家參考。 《牧場物語 橄欖鎮與希望的大地》 當週有多款新上市遊戲入榜,最亮眼的莫過於《牧場物語》系列最新作《牧場物語 橄欖鎮與希望的大地》一舉拿下日本與台灣的

Taiwan is a mirror of Japan. In Korea, they don't care about new releases.

Edit: the article also mentions SoS's bugs and long loading times, that hit taiwan's word of mouth.
And it seems the translation of Bravely Default 2 is also a controversy by taiwanese players.

UK
Even then the only reason it didn't crack the U.K. top ten is the same as any other new game, we have the same endless sellers that take up all the top ten every week so it makes the 11-20 position much more interesting.

It also admittedly held better in the UK than P5 Strikers or the resurgent (due to new PS5 SKU) Yakuza 7. It's more that we had the expected doomsaying last week based on UK chart position alone, which you'd think people would've learned by now.

It's admittedly still way behind Octopath though which had only a 60% drop in its second week, a pretty big feat for a JRPG.

"Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury" has returned to 1st place. With stable sales it seems that it will join the group of evergreens and make Switch software even more exciting in the future.
Last week's No.1, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, is still selling well making it the biggest hit of Story of Seasons series at GEO.
At 9th place, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate had a new character releasing and the number of Fighter Pass sales increased with the sales of game that is purchased at the same time also increasing significantly."

Octopath is on its way to sell 3m+. For a new IP.

It is an incredible feat. Took decades for franchises like Persona and Fire Emblem to reach these heights. Even higher than any Tales of or Xenoblade game.

So, Story of Seasons was

- the best-selling game across Tsutaya stores
- the second best-selling game across GEO stores
- the third best-selling game at COMGnet, behind Bravely Default II

MediaCreate 2 月 22 日~2 月 28 日一週銷售排行榜 《牧場物語》新作奪冠

巴哈姆特 GNN 與日本遊戲業界分析公司 MediaCreate 合作,每週定期刊載由 MediaCreate 調查與統計的日本、台灣與韓國地區家用遊樂器主機遊戲軟體的一週銷售排行榜,供玩家參考。 《牧場物語 橄欖鎮與希望的大地》 當週有多款新上市遊戲入榜,最亮眼的莫過於《牧場物語》系列最新作《牧場物語 橄欖鎮與希望的大地》一舉拿下日本與台灣的

Taiwan is a mirror of Japan. In Korea, they don't care about new releases.

Edit: the article also mentions SoS's bugs and long loading times, that hit taiwan's word of mouth.
And it seems the translation of Bravely Default 2 is also a controversy by taiwanese players.

The author of the article speculated that the reason the new releases didn't chart in Korea is that while the games do support Korean, they didn't release physical copies of the games there, so they were not accounted for in the charts.

Regarding monster Hunter stories 2 release date. It'll be announced soon but putting it in spoiler in case since it's a leak

July 9th so that game and LoZ SS are July big games)

What is the MHR double pack? Are there two editions of the game?


Pokémon SW/SH also opened higher than world, despite fewer COMG pre-orders. Maybe Switch users don't preorder as much?

I posted above the ratio. Comg just shows it's more skewed towards Sony consumers. Comg is relevant again for NSW games as shown

Admittedly, nobody expected it to sell better than Octopath Traveler, a 2.5 million seller, a pretty big feat for a JRPG.

Octopath is on its way to sell 3m+. For a new IP.

It is an incredible feat. Took decades for franchises like Persona and Fire Emblem to reach these heights. Even higher than any Tales of or Xenoblade game.

Sure, I'm not putting that expectation of the game. Just pointing out that whilst 74% is a decent drop for a JRPG it's still not being carried by WoM as Octopath was.

Sure but still keeping pace with BD1 at least and due to the nature of digital now likely exceeding it in total. Also well ahead of Second thankfully.

Indeed and looking at Chris' earlier posts in here there's a slight chance it actually has the highest second week out of all of them in Japan.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 comes out July 9th Worldwide. Add that to the books lol. Game looks good, to early to call but maybe another million seller. Need to see more of it

Which is weird because you can see the package version in the Korean trailer.



I can't read Korean, but it seems there is a retail version.

GEO stores: Week 9, 2021 (Mar 1 - Mar 7)
"At 9th place, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate had a new character releasing and the number of Fighter Pass sales increased with the sales of game that is purchased at the same time also increasing significantly."

Behold the power of the Aegis.

I was intrigued by the controversy regarding the Chinese translation and did a search on it. Some players were put off by some of the more archaic sounding translations that are more at home in a wuxia novel than a European themed JRPG. Also bunches of skill names were badly butchered.

There's a supposed post by someone on the Chinese translating team that they didn't receive debugger machines that can download BDII. They didn't play through the game at all and based the translation solely on the Japanese and English script. (Post is deleted, but people replied to the post before it was deleted.)

One thing in the deleted post caught my attention. Post mentioned that the team received a beta Windows version where they can walk around but not talk to NPC. Maybe there will be a Steam release in a years time like Octopath.

Switch has something going on every month right now, with the only questions being the exact order of stuff in the fall.
